Benefits of technology

[0004]A means is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,408,771 for mounting a data storage device, which includes a drive bracket and a rotating member. The data storage device has sliding members at opposite sides thereof. The drive bracket includes a pair of guiding slots for receiving the sliding members. A clip extends from the drive bracket. The rotating member is pivotably mounted on the first side panel. The sliding members of the data storage device slide into the guiding slots. The rotating member is rotated to engage with the latching tab and secure at least one of the sliding members in the guiding slot. However, the mounting assembly is complicated, and additional components, such as the rotating member, are needed.

Embodiment Construction

[0008]Referring to FIG. 1, an exemplary embodiment of a mounting mechanism for mounting a data storage device 30 of an electronic device includes a drive bracket 10. The drive bracket 10 includes two parallel side panels 11 and 13. Each of the side panels 11 and 13 forms an elongate pillar 19. The two pillars 19 extend inwards and toward each other. An outer surface of each pillar 19 is arcuate and smooth. Each of the side panels 11 and 13 also forms two horizontal support pieces 14 extending towards the other side panel and below the pillar 19. The side panel 13 defines a plurality of screw holes 17 beside the pillar 19 of the side panel 13.

[0009]The data storage device 30 includes a pair of sidewalls 31 and a bottom wall 34. Each of the sidewalls 31 defines a groove 39 corresponding to each of the pillars 19 of the drive bracket 10. A bottom surface of the groove 39 is shaped arcuate to match the outer surface of each of the pillars 19. A plurality of screw holes 37 is defined in ...

Abstract

A mounting mechanism for mounting a data storage device includes a drive bracket. The drive bracket includes two parallel side panels, each of which forms a pillar extending inwards toward each other. The data storage device includes two side walls capable of being received between two side panels of the drive bracket. Each of the side walls defines a groove therein. A surface of the corresponding groove is configured to match with the outer surface of the corresponding pillar so that the groove is capable of engaging with the pillar.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to mounting mechanisms for mounting data storage devices in a computer enclosure.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]A means is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,408,771 for mounting a data storage device, which includes a drive bracket and a rotating member. The data storage device has sliding members at opposite sides thereof. The drive bracket includes a pair of guiding slots for receiving the sliding members. A clip extends from the drive bracket. The rotating member is pivotably mounted on the first side panel. The sliding members of the data storage device slide into the guiding slots. The rotating member is rotated to engage with the latching tab and secure at least one of the sliding members in the guiding slot. However, the mounting assembly is complicated, and additional components, such as the rotating member, are needed.[0005]Therefore, a mounting mechanism for data storage device is desired to overcom...
